OUR MISSION
commit to brave storytelling.
OTV | Open Television is a platform for intersectional television, with artists and their creative visions at the center. In 2015, this non-profit distribution platform that supports artists and communities marginalized by their race, gender, sexuality, class, religion, disability or nationality began as part of an ongoing research project at Northwestern University. In addition to providing a network of care to foster the entire trajectory of a creative project from inception to release, OTV also offers connectivity, financing and consultation throughout. This is all to bring the stories of our time that are often underrepresented or missing from TV, to the public.
